About
De brouwerij werd opgericht in 1995 door Johan Brandt en was tot 2008 gelegen in het West-Vlaamse Assebroek, een deelgemeente van de stad Brugge. Voornamelijk omwille van het gebrek aan de nodige ruimte voor uitbreiding (de brouwcapaciteit bleef beperkt tot 320 liter per brouwsel), verhuisde de brouwerij in 2009 naar Mater, een deelgemeente van Oudenaarde. Deze verhuis bracht ook de officiële naamsverandering van De Regenboog naar Smisje met zich mee. In 2010 werd beslist alle bestaande bieren behalve het Kerstbier te doen verdwijnen uit het assortiment en het nieuwe bier Smiske te lanceren. De oudere Smisje-bieren werden echter zo gewaardeerd dat een aantal mensen een Facebook-groep opzette om de bieren toch nog te laten brouwen. Op aanvraag van de regelmatige bezoekers besluit in 2011 de brouwer ook Smiske Bruin te brouwen.

Calva Reserva from Brouwerij Smisje

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7
Hazy dark red pour - quite foamy - big calvados aroma, with some port, overripe fruit, brown sugar - lots of calvados in the taste as well - some apples and pears, darker fruit esters - slight, lingering port character on the back end - a little tartness - something odd in the finish tastes like...celery? - otherwise a good beer.

Bottle at Kerstbierfestival 2005, Essen, Belgium
Clear, brown body. Virtually no head. Looks like cognac or something like that. Nose of honey, pears, port, cask wood, ... Lightly sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter finish. Nice, but nothing special. Probably too much alcohol.

Surprising, unique, and pretty good. Coriander aroma is restrained. Cloudy amber color, foamy head. The flavor was the real surprise here, with a nicely refreshing tartness that mad this very pleasant while I was outside grilling on a hot August evening. There’s a fair amount of orange citrus flavor throughout this, reminiscent of the Hitachino Nest White but more balanced and less offensive. This reminds me of a hybrid between traditional witbier, the Nest White and a Berliner Weisse.

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish amber, slightly hazy. Sweetish, vinuos scent of desert wine. Soft flavours of sweetish, roasted malt, raisins and other dried fruits - perhaps even overripe fruits. And again notes of desert wine in the flavours. Very delicious and delicate. A real warming nightcap. 260705

Bottled (BBE 2007)
Hazy nut brown, small creamy off-white head. Fruity, lightly hoppy. Starts a bit spicey, some leafy hoppy notes in the middile. Hints of sugar, but this is not a sweet beer. Slightly grassy aftertaste.

A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is very light and primarily of wheat. The flavor is sweet wheaty and somewhat acidic.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very orangey golden with a very small head. Incredibly fresh citrusy nose - or orange nose to be precise. Very sourish orange flavours and fresh, perfumy notes of coriander. No malt at all. 180705

Bottled. Cloudy amber. Spices (mustard seeds I assume) are obvious in the nose. Fruity, soft and medium bodied with notes of lemon and pineapple. Somewhat vinous. Restrained sweetness, low bitterness.

Bottle. Aroma of yoghurt, mold, cloves with a hint of sourness. Pale golden colour, creamy white head. Moldy, sour flavour. The sourness is a bit weird. Moldy aftertaste. The mouthfeel is very swelling.
